Sebastian Press
of the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Western America
St. Sebastian Orthodox Press is one of the prevalent and most dynamic publishers of Christian publications on the West Coast and the USA.
Established in 2006 by the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Western America and named in honor of the
first American born Orthodox priest, Saint Sebastian (Dabovich), Sebastian Press is a second of the most extensive, most valued resources for Orthodox books and other materials in the English-speaking world.
With over 130 quality popular titles published, from many of the best living Orthodox writers in English, we also publish translations of the exciting and resourceful works of Serbian, Greek, and other theologians to English.
Sebastian Press is building its reputation for promoting high quality theological, historical, pastoral, spiri- tual, scriptural, hagiographical, philosophical, patristic, and iconographical writings in its repertoire. Besides being available in the traditional format, books are also available electronically, on Kindle, iBook, and other book readers. Through a partnership with Interklima, Indiktos, and Simonopetra Monastery, Sebastian Press became the Orthodox hagiographical books’ primary distributor.
We also responded to a growing need by offering high-quality, full-color Orthodox books for children.
Due to growing demand, during the 2014 and beyond, Sebastian Press expanded beyond its original pub- lishing goals, giving special attention to the publishing of new titles for teens and families, including video and audio programs, icon, greeting cards, calendars, and canvas reproductions.
Our hard-working staff seeks to fruitfully enrich and deepen the faith of Christians from all over the world with various titles, embracing a diversity of Orthodox Traditions, and publishing significant works. They in- clude St. Bishop Nicholai of Zicha, St. Justin of Chelije, John Zizioulas, Aimilianos of Simonopetra, Stamatis Skliris, Vasileios Gondikakis, Atanasije Jevtic, Christos Yannaras, Maximos Constas, George Kordis, etc.
Sebastian Press staff provides all customer service, and we can quickly connect customers with the appro- priate ministry if they need more information about programs and materials.
With the Sebastian Press publishing endeavor, Orthodox theology becomes accessible in a global sense—we receive orders from throughout America, Canada, Australia, Europe, and even Asia. In the words of Arch- bishop Demetrios, “With the publications of Sebastian Press, not only the American but the entire Anglophone world is enriched with the written works of Orthodox theologians, abolishing the boundaries and distances of space and time.”
Sebastian Press is located in Los Angeles, at the Western Diocese headquarters of the Serbian Orthodox Church. It is registered as a subordinate ministry of the Western American Diocese.
